About Me

I'm Professor of Law and Government at Durham University appointed in the Law School and an Associate in the Philosophy Department. I'm originally from New Haven, Connecticut and studied in New Jersey, Arizona and Dublin before moving to the UK in 2001. I've been a visitor at Oxford, St Andrews and Uppsala and previously taught at Newcastle University. I'm founding editor of the Journal of Moral Philosophy which I started in 2003 while a graduate student.

My current research interests are immigration law and policy (esp citizenship) and sentencing law and policy (esp theories of punishment and the use of sentencing guidelines). I'm also working on the capabilities approach and global justice as well as my longstanding interests in the work of Hegel and the British Idealists.
